The Rolling Stones have a new original album coming out Friday, bringing renewed attention to the legendary British rock band created in the 60s. The album, which the Rolling Stones have named "Hackney Diamonds," will have a total of 12 tracks on it. When it becomes available, it will have been nearly two decades since their last studio album, Fox News Digital recently reported.
The band brought in $50.9 million in 2021, Billboard reported. That figure, the outlet said, comprised $2 million of sales royalties, $3.1 million of streaming royalties, $1.2 million of publishing royalties and $44.5 million from tour box offices. The Rolling Stones have racked up 66.5 million worth of domestic sales of certified album units, the Recording Industry Association of America has said. During the 60s, frontman Mick Jagger had a stint at the London School of Economics.
The Rolling Stones currently don’t mean to put their works from 1971 and later up for sale, Jagger recently told The Wall Street Journal. He reportedly said "the children don’t need $500 million to live well." The singer has a total of 8 children, the youngest of which is six years old. Jagger didn’t rule out charity as a potential option, however, according to The Journal.
